Any forecasts for the future of U.K. Ten years from now how are we, as a Nation shaping up in the Global economics, Social and Eco World ? How different will it all be for us left living here? Over to you.

Continued increase in SME as people realize it is the only way to build a career outside of the existing specialities such as sciences, pharmaceutics, high tech. Entrepreneurship will increase and high value will be placed upon traditional craft skills, such as hand made traditional furniture.

The town high streets will start to be converted into domestic living areas. 'Blue Water' style shopping (small scale) will take the place of the High Street.

MWR will be a code of practice rather than a legal requirement.

Home ownership will be boosted with developers offering smart clever house designs incorporating technology and insulation levels that drastically cut energy use.

Fracking will be the normal every day activity.

I will still be ruing the day our coal-mines closed.

You never know, we might even have reopened some by then when Qatar gets taken over by jihadists and we can't buy their gas....

Yup, never say never. I thought I had read somewhere that our Qatar deal is coming to an end next year. We need to renegotiate the price now. Oh Lordy Lord!
